Robertson gets first job since leaving All Blacks
Robertson accepted an early contract termination to allow new All Blacks coaches time to prepare for the Rugby World Cup, with his first Barbarians game against the Springboks.
- Scott Robertson, sacked All Blacks coach, has been named one of four coaches for the Barbarians' June 20 match against South Africa at Nelson Mandela Stadium, Gqeberha.
- After an end-of-year review, NZR announced the sacking of the All Blacks coach in January and reached an agreement to end his contract early.
- Robertson has coached the Barbarians on four occasions, including a 35-31 win in 2022 over an All Blacks XV featuring Damian McKenzie and Leicester Fainga'anuku.
- His appointment to the Barbarians is Scott Robertson's first coaching role since his sacking, while the NZR appointment panel expects to decide between Dave Rennie and Jamie Joseph early next month.
- Robertson is understood to have a one-year non-compete clause barring him from joining another Test nation until after the 2027 Rugby World Cup, and the 51-year-old has not spoken publicly about his axing.
